Getting Started

Liquefied Petroleum

(Propane) Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural Gas and

Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use

with natural gas.

A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your

cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE

GAS CONVERSION". Follow the installation

instructions which are inside the envelope.

The conversion must be performed by a qualified

service technician in accordance with the kit

instructions and all local codes and requirements.

Failure to follow instructions could result in serious

injury or property damage. The qualified agency

performing this work assumes responsibility for the

conversion.

Surface Cooking

Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control

setting and then turn to a lower one to complete

the process. Use the chart below as a guide for

determining proper flame size for various types

of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and

the amount of food being cooked will influence the

setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust

the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too

cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If

the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that

the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to

deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will

neither brown nor cook properly.

RIGHT

WRONG

Severe shock, or damage to the cooktop may occur if the

cooktop is not installed by a qualified installer or electrician.

Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this

appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be

made by a qualified service technician in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of

the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow the instructions

could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified

agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the

conversion.

*Flame Size

Type of Cooking

Start most foods; bring water

High Flame

to a boil; pan broiling

Maintain a slow boil; thicken

Medium Flame

sauces, gravies; steam

Keep foods cooking; poach;

Low Flame

stew

*These settings are based on using medium-

weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may

vary when using other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of

the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and

energy, and increases your risk of being burned by

the flame.

Proper Burner Adjustments

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner

adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly

visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame

should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean

burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see

instructions under General Care & Cleaning.
